The Democratic Party of Virginia is looking for attorneys, law students, and legal professionals to join our Voter Protection Team! You can play a critical role in ensuring that every eligible voter is able to vote on Election Day. We need hundreds of volunteers to serve as poll observers inside and outside of polling places across Virginia.

Virginia residents are particularly critical volunteers, as you can be inside polling places on Election Day.

Poll observers help break down barriers to voting by making sure all laws and rules are applied fairly and letting us know about issues at the polls. There will be training sessions in October to provide all volunteers with the information they need to protect the vote. Please sign up and share the link the below:
